Well if you can find it.... What ever Kawi paint was on the ZX rims is amazing crap for this was a sonsabitch to get off....

Seriously, in using a Nylon wire brush wheel on a drill, took some time to get that down to bare metal on the rims for buffing.... :angry: This stuff was some truly tough ass paint...

Would be perfect for frame paint so if you happen to find out what it is please share... ;)

Aircraft stripper works real well just dont get any on you. If you sand down your side covers a little then sandblast it will leave a nice surface for the primer to grab. I also sandblasted my frame after hitting it with some sand paper. Sandblasting can be time consuming but in my opinion it works the best at getting rust out of those nooks and crannies that a frame has. You can use a chemical stripper then finish with sandblasting. It is amazing how much rust is under the paint that you can not see untill you start stripping it. I have a plastic spray bottle of rust converter that woks excellent on bare metal after stripping, Navel jelly is a joke in my opinion and takes forever to work.
